Chocolate Applesauce Recipes

From vegetarian.about.com Very moist! Doesn't need the frosting.

Original recipe from Allrecipes.com with a few “healthy” modifications. Since it was near St. Patty's Day I sprinkled these with a little GREEN powdered sugar to make them a bit more festive.

These cookies are almost half the fat and 1/4 less sugar. The applesauce makes them moist and reduces the butter needed. They are under 200 calories and tasty! Enjoy some almost guilt free cookies!

This cake uses whole wheat flour, producing a denser cake than my original chocolate cake. I like to serve this cake plain with my cherry pie filling spooned on top.

Simple but delicious

Yummy whole wheat, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Substituted applesauce for butter.

A lighter alternative way to curb a sweet tooth... and get rid of excess ripe bananas!

Substitute Applesauce for the oil.

I took my grandmother's banana bread recipe and substituted applesauce for shortening and then added in chocolate chips...yummy!

Very very moist brownies.
Sprinkle 1 tsp sifted powdered sugar over top when cool.
Very good when cooled or eaten the next day.

This cake will become a favorite at all your parties. It's even just as good if you omit the chocolate chips which will save you 30 calories per serving.

I slice my cake in three rows divided into six columns.

Full of veggies and fruit, this cake is dense and satisfying without being too calorific.

Delicious healthy and very moist cookie

Make this your own by modifying the recipe! I did.

Yummy alternative to brownies, etc.

no chocolate chips, regular low fat milk

Healthier Muffins

This is a modification of a "Healthier Yogurt Banana Bread" recipe I found. I added cinnamon and more baking soda than the original recipe. I also used all applesauce rather than half applesauce and half butter. Finally, I substitute out some of the whole wheat flour for almond flour.

This is adapted from another member's recipe by using splenda instead of sugar and egg beaters instead of eggs. Also original used cake flour in place of the flours here; this gives more fiber. Compared, however, by serving size it's not very different for total calorie count.
